=== | ===Stress and intonation=== | ||
All syllables are pronounced as the same length; there is no Lexical stress. This is similar to French and Georgian. | |||
Though, when prosodic stress is involved, the first syllable of the prosodical word becomes extra stressed. | |||
The word for what, <>, has a rising intonation /↗︎/, | |||
Though, if it is the subject of a sentence, everything on from the verb has a falling intonation /↘︎/ | |||
The words for yes and no, <>, both have a falling intonation /↘︎/ | |||
Though, the final "or not", <>, found in yes-no questions, also has a rising intonation /↗︎/ | |||
